TR was more than a good president, or an outdoorsman, or a great speaker...........he had heart, he understood what it means to have heart and to use that heart for a good purpose. On my desk and in my mind I have one of his quotes.......I live my life by it........"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

Snake Pliskin's interpretation: "Step up, go for it, live your life to the fullest, you only live once, do the right thing..............just give your best."

1907 or 2006, heart is heart, the right thing to do is the right thing to do.

Sorry, I'm getting a little soapbox, but T.R. has that effect on me.
